I have experience in caring for the dogs of relatives and friends. In one instance, I have looked after a relative's pair of pitbulls on many ocassions, and later on they had 12 puppies, which I helped look after as well for a bit. I have an educational background in biological sciences, with coursework including; anatomy, pharmacology, zoology and animal behavior. In my younger years I read a number of books pertaining to zoology. Every dog is unique, and thus needs to be treated on a personal level. It is important for me to understand a dog's; preferences, what routine works best for them, and what activities they enjoy the most; so that I can provide them with an experience that is as close to that of their normal routine as possible.
